Physical exercise is important to sustain a healthy lifestyle but overdoing it can carry risks as it can lead to injuries. Both high-intensity and low-intensity exercises can have implications such as sore muscles, pain in the joints, broken bones, and more.
If the underlying issue is ignored and you continue to participate in physical activities with an injury, this can increase the severity of the injury which can lead to long-term or even permanent damages.
At Complete Care Physio, we work closely with all our patients to ensure they get the proper treatment they need to recover quickly and perform at their best.
Some of the most common sports-injury include:
- Sprains
- Strains
- Pulled muscles
- Swollen muscles
- Knee injuries
- Fractures
- Dislocations
- And more
Many sports injuries will cause immediate pain or discomfort, while others such as overuse injuries are less apparent. If you participate in a lot of physically intensive activities, it is recommended that you get a routine physical examination every few months to make sure everything is ok.
If you are noticing persistent pain or discomfort in certain areas of your body, you should seek medical attention right away. One of the most effective treatments for sports injuries is sports rehabilitation.
